Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 334 Behind Li Xu

"Now, can we talk?"

Zhuge Qinglan, who was temporarily recruited because of the situation, looked at Dong Cao indifferently.

"What do you want to ask?" Dong Cao exhaled and looked at Zhuge Qinglan.

He finally compromised, believing in the reputation of the Zhuge family.

This is also his last choice.

When he was caught, he knew that he was destined to die. Now that he still has a little bit of blood left in the world, it is a blessing among misfortunes.

"How did you become the leader of Xiliang step by step?" Zhuge Qinglan asked.

This is deception, but his attitude is gentle and aboveboard, making it impossible for anyone to see any flaws.

Just because his Zhuge family has a good family tradition doesn't mean he won't lie to others.

A dull-minded person can engage in learning, but it is impossible for him to preside over the military and political affairs of a country.

What's more, he really didn't lie this time. It's just that Dong Xuan next door is not the real Dong Xuan, but Dong Xuan was not created by him, and his words were not spoken by him.

He just echoed Ji Ren's words. Strictly speaking, it was not a lie.

It's just that Dong Cao misunderstood.

"It's Li Xu." When Dong Cao heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That was almost a hundred years ago. At that time, I was still a cowherd boy, herding cattle for the landlord, but the landlord was a black heart. Yes, he didn’t treat me as a human being, and his sons and daughters were beaten at every turn. I was so cruel that one night, I secretly killed all the men in their family, and then played with his rich lady..."

"Tell me the important point." Zhuge Qinglan frowned slightly. He was not interested in these criminals' self-reports. His only feeling was that it was too late to kill Dong Cao.

Dong Cao was not annoyed when he was interrupted by Zhuge Qinglan, but said excitedly: "Then the incident happened and I was hunted down. At that time, the police officers came together and I was about to be arrested. At that time, I thought I was dead. , but my life should not be cut off, I accidentally fell into a secret realm and found a Dharma image, which I successfully condensed. That’s how I realized that I was a descendant of Duke Dong.”

I originally thought that I was born with a lowly fate, but from that moment I realized that my bloodline was extraordinary.

Ji Ren on the side raised his eyebrows slightly. This is really an uneducated pride. Dong Zhuo's family was completely eliminated by Wang Yun during the Chang'an Rebellion. Where did his descendants come from?
However, Ji Ren did not interrupt. Firstly, it was not necessary. Secondly, this operation is relatively common, mixing one's own family with celebrities. For example, Sun Jian claimed to be a descendant of Sun Wu, Yang Jian claimed to be a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family, and Li Yuan claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu.

A common trope to put money on one's own face.

"There are countless resources in that secret realm. I cultivated to the peak of the sun in the secret realm, and then left the secret realm and killed those who had offended me one by one. At that time, I was still young and ignorant. I thought that the dawn realm was Invincible, after wiping out several counties, I was arrested. At that time, I was regretful and desperate, but I still didn't deserve to die. At this time, I met Li Xu, who was also very young at the time, and he fell from the sky and said something about me. He is his destined lord. He helped me and solved all my troubles. He successfully concealed the news, taught me how to practice, and told me the difference in realm." Dong Cao said to himself, Speaking of which, he was still very grateful to Li Xu.

If it were not for Li Xu, there would be no Dong family under him.

However, later he found out that Li Xu was not that loyal to him, so he had different thoughts.

But even so, he still believed in Li Xu because he knew that without Li Xu, he was nothing.

Ji Ren was also secretly surprised. You survived two catastrophes, so you have a bit of the protagonist's fate in you.

In addition, as expected, things can only be done in threes, and now for the third time, I am about to burp. "Then, I practiced with him. He taught me how to be a lord and helped me conquer the inheritors of the Xiliang lineage. He planned for me step by step, and this led to the glory of thirty-seven years ago. ." Dong Cao said.

"Then when did you realize something was wrong with Li Xu? What did you find out?" Zhuge Qinglan looked at Dong Cao and asked.

"Lu Feng! I don't want to accept him. When I saw him for the first time, I wanted to kill him. But Li Xu persuaded me not to kill him, saying that Lu Feng was useful." Dong Cao had a murderous look in his eyes. He said that he still could not forget Lu Feng's betrayal back then. If Lu Feng hadn't betrayed him back then, he might not have been defeated so miserably.

Zhuge Qinglan nodded slightly, he knew this.

When Lu Feng surrendered, a large part of the reason was because Lu Feng felt that he might die if he stayed with Dong Cao any longer.

Moreover, Lu Feng also wanted to kill Dong Cao.

"It was also from that moment on that I felt that Li Xu was not so obedient. Am I the lord of Xiliang, or is he the lord of Xiliang? Over the years, I have thought about it carefully. I feel that when he recruited Lu Feng, in name only The purpose is to strengthen our strength, but in fact, we just want to consume Da Qi's strength. It doesn't matter whether I am strong or not, but if Da Qi is weak, let's see if Da Qi's ancestor is dead." Dong Cao narrowed his eyes and said. , this doubt has been lingering in his mind, and there is probably no hope of solving it in this life.

"So back then, while I was fighting you, I was recruiting counselors myself, trying to get rid of Li Xu's control, and at the same time I was investigating him. I found that although his diet and lifestyle were the same as those of us northerners, many of the people around him liked the same things. There were servants from Jiangnan who heard that they were returning to the Wang family, but I didn’t know which Wang family it was. I wanted to continue investigating, but he found out. I didn’t want to break up with him at the time, so I had to give up temporarily.

"But later, things changed faster than planned. Lu Feng's unfed wolf finally betrayed me. At that time, I yelled at Li Xu, further removing Li Xu's power, and Li Xu also cooperated with me obediently. , but without Li Xu, the battle situation became even more unfavorable, and in the end it was completely defeated. It was Li Xu who brought people to save me. From that time on, I chose not to worry about who was the lord of Xiliang between me and Li Xu. If not, With him, I can't become the Lord of Xiliang, at least until there is a suitable replacement, I can't live without him." When Dong Cao said this, he looked at Zhuge Qinglan with regret in his eyes, "It's a pity that he didn't exist back then. I’ll take you away while I can, otherwise we wouldn’t be in trouble today. What we did back then was not safe enough.”

"Thieves deserve to die!"

When Emperor Qi, who was eavesdropping in the cell next door, heard this, he couldn't help but cursed, "This thief dared to trick the prime minister."

The crime deserves death!

"Continue." Zhuge Qinglan's face also darkened a bit. Thirty-seven years ago, he was only ten years old. If it weren't for Zhuge Yuquan's protection, he almost died in the Xiliang Rebellion. If the situation didn't allow it, , he now wants to take matters into his own hands and kill Dong Cao.

"That's how he and I became harmonious again. However, I have not relaxed at all in my investigation of him. It's just that I'm afraid of being discovered by him, so I have always been very careful in my investigation. Although it is slow, But in the end, I found a lot of things. The talisman he gave to his son came from the Shenxiao sect of Song Dynasty, and it was a talisman that was difficult for people in the Shenxiao sect to get. So, I changed my method and got it from Shenxiao. It took several years for the Xiao faction to find out that only two of the Tianwang talismans had flowed into Daqi, one was given to the Wang family of Langya and the other was given to the Wang family of Kuaiji, both of whom happened to be named Wang. .

"Langya Wang family, Kuaiji Wang family?" Zhuge Qinglan frowned even more when he heard about these two families.

Needless to say, the Langya Wang family is the leader of Yangzhou and the uncrowned king.

The Wang family in Kuaiji originated from the East China Sea. They fled to the south of the Yangtze River because of the great chaos thirty-seven years ago.

Speaking of their ancestor, he was also a famous person, Situ Wanglang.

Situ of Cao Wei in history, the "shameless man" in the novel.

Another form of place name is left in history.

Nowadays, they are also a wealthy family in Kuaiji, with prosperous maritime trade and frequent transactions with the Song Dynasty.

"Yes, it was them. After I had the target, I continued to investigate. It was basically certain that there was something wrong with the Wang family in Kuaiji, but the people I sent to the Wang family in Langya disappeared quickly. I was in Xiliang at the time, and We can't pursue too much, so we have to give up. But there are many calligraphy and paintings in Li Xu's room that are from the calligraphy sage Wang Shaozhi. His calligraphy and paintings are worth a lot of money, and Li Xu got too much." Dong Cao said.
